Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and Oral Health Integration

Improved health outcomes through medical and dental linkages

The goal of the Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and Oral Health Integration (DCVDOHI) model is to increase diabetes and cardiovascular disease screening, bi-directional referral, and management outcomes in federally qualified health centers (FQHC) clinics providing oral health care to those at risk or living with comorbid conditions. The DCVDOHI model has provided tools, research, implementation plans, workflows, metrics and lessons learned in an iterative and evolving change package, found here.
